ERMA THRASK: Home of the Week: The WHITE HOUSE Salutations! Erma Thrask here. I have been called back from semi-retirement by Mr. Goliath. Unlike some fancy pants associates of Goliath, I , proudly, do NOT have any delusions of grandeur and I reject any claims of trying to take a title of ROYALTY. You will not find me claiming to be "Dame Erma" or "Countessa Thrask". No indeedy! Just plain old "Mrs. Erma Thrask" is certainly good enough for me! I have to confess that I am very anxious about this particular post, coming as it does just a few very short days before May 21. According to some religious figures, the rapture is going to happen on May 21 and I assure you, if it does I intend to be raptured right out of here! So, this may be the very last column that I ever write. Thus, I decided to make it a very good one on a very important horrible HOME of the WEEK! My subject, for my possibly last pre-rapture column is the WHITE HOUSE. I took the time to investigate the decor that has been installed ever since that horrible pretender, Barak HUSSEIN Obama gained (by no doubt fraudulent means) the office of the president. It is a simple fact that no matter how one tries to hide your essential self, one's choice of house hold decor often reveals essential truths about the underlying true soul of the home-occupier. That my theory is so clearly demonstrable by such a public figure as Hussein Obama gives me a great deal of satisfaction. Join me as I critique the interior decor of Hussein's White House! To begin with, we have the Oval Office. Take a good look at the drapes Mr. Obama has chosen to embarass the nation with. My goodness! What color is that? Perhaps that is the color of the national flag of Kenya or something. It is certainly NOTHING that a good American would hang on the wall of the Oval office. Shameful!!! The horrors continue in the next picture where we see the 'royal red' hall rug that clashes so vulgarly with the remaining surroundings. (Which retain the taste and grandeur of, I imagine, Laura Bushes hand! Hopefully Hussein will not be in office for a second term to have time to get around to ruining everything his tasteful predecessor had accomplished after eight years of those vulgarian Clintons!). I also found more pictures. You will no doubt recall that in almost all of my previous Home of the Week articles we found the 'man of the house' had a 'man cave' which he euphemistically dubbed the 'media room'. All readers of Erma Thrask no the TRUTH however that these are simply large and over furnished masturbation parlors for the men of the house to view pornography on wide flat screen televisions. How shocking and disgusting to find that the Obama's is not only more over the top than the most vulgar examples to be found in the 40207 zip code area, but that there are MULTIPLE seating rows!!! Imagine the 'royal red" being used in such a DISGUSTING manner!!! And, may I also enquire, respectfully....is it not against the Muslim religion to look at PORNOGRAPHY??? But I note, with curiosity that recent reports reveal that Osama Bin Laden had a large 'stash' of degrading pornography too! Coincedence? I think not! Please, Mr. President, find healthier outlets for your natural desires! I also found a current photograph of the Lincoln Bedroom. My goodness! What is that above the bed? Mosquito netting? My friend, Beualah Grossmeir and I were discussing this and she opined that the fabric drop is needed to create a 'tent' effect that Mr. Obama needs to feel 'at home' so as to be able to sleep. At first I scoffed but, upon further reflection I am beginning to come around to this view. Perhaps we need more accoutrement's from the desert! Why not a hookah pipe? A Afghani rug on the floor? a Camel skin waterbag? Perhaps these would make you even MORE comfortable Mr. President! Finally, I found a picture of the President's 'kitchen'. Good Lord! What is all that green vegetable material in the bowls??! Is that what I think it is?! No wonder Mr. Obama has such difficulty making good sound decisions about National Healthcare and Gun Control. Apparently he is high as a Georgia Pine all the time! I have reviewed the internet and I believe that the African drug we are looking at here is called Quat. Mr. President! Please...resign now and shame a grateful nation no longer!!! Might I also add that those kitchen workers look very much like illegal immigrants. No wonder Mr. President Hussein Obama is so very weak on Immigration law!! In closing, let me add, Mr. and Mrs. Obama, I admit you are an attractive couple and your daughters are precious and I note, with pleasure, that Mrs. Obama' mother resides with the family. I hear she, at least, is a Christian. Please... for the sake of the nation and your own souls....obtain a copy of the King James Bible and read it! As for the Whitehouse decor..PLEASE go back to everything Laura had up. The Nation will thank you for it!- Erma Thrask (pre-rapture 2011). Home of the Week, "KHAKI SHORTS" by Erma Thrask

Home of the Week, "KHAKI SHORTS" by Erma Thrask

Salutations! I had just hung up the telephone from a long and soul searching conversation with (EX) Congressman Mark Souder. For those of you who aren't 'au currant' let me say that he has just this week resigned from his position in Congress.

Mr. Souder  confessed a long term extra-marital relationship with an aide. For several years now, Mr. Souder has confided and consulted with me in his many many struggles on behalf of Christian family values and bringing them into public life and LAW! He has advocated mandatory prayer in school (nothing wrong with that!) Display of the Ten Commandments (including thou shalt not commit adultery) in the Courts, Schools, and restrooms at municipal airports, banning abortions and compulsory missionary service.

Mr. Souder's wife is a lovely person, in her way,  But, sadly, apparently did not properly live up to her wifely duties sufficiently to keep her man. Of course when a man

as noble as Mark falls into the sin of adultery, it's mostly his wife's fault. Now, of course

I also blame the young strumpet who lured this man into sin. Isn't Satan devilish? She appears

to be rather modest  It's not as if she is going bra-less, wearing shorts to display her legs or flaunting tattoos or body piercings (as some women do).

She apparently enticed him by breathlessly discussing abstinence, anti-homosexual legislation,

and how the missionary position is the only proper way to make love within the bonds of a marriage.

Mark is beside himself. He is regretting his decision as we discuss how really it's the fault of those heathen, socialist Democrats that he must withdraw or be humiliated in public. They would cause such great hurt to his wife and his children. Then there's the press, how they exult in his downfall. He has received word that over at such pagan communist editorial boards as

the Courier Journal and Evening News...the staff broke out champagne and had a party to celebrate his fall! Actually, Mark and I discussed the VERY DISTINCT POSSIBILITY that Ms.

Jackson was a MEDIA PLANT. Note her use of 'the interview' as a seduction technique! Only

someone from the socialist main stream media would imagine that!

If you have read this far, you might be asking yourself, "I thought this was a Home of the

Week" review. Well, dear readers, indeed it is. And I have said so little on this weeks feature

because, frankly, there is so very little to say. This is perhaps the most BORING HOME OF THE WEEK ever! As a matter of fact I intend to save this article as a standard against which

future completely boring HOMES OF THE WEEK can be measured.

Dear Ms. Klotz...I see you have embraced 'khaki' as a decorative motif. Dear, while we do not recommend wild expressions of color in the home, one is permitted to venture beyond khaki (the new word for beige?). I recommend choosing something besides ones 'shorts' as the touchstone

for one's decorating and wall color decisions. Also, one hint....that painting by Cynthia Blandford? It has to go. Also, I see a faux column peaking through there. Apparently you

haven't been paying attention Mrs. Klotz.

Now, I'm sorry, but I have to go. My cellphone is ringing...it's Ted Haggard on the line.

 HOME OF THE WEEK FLOODZONE MARRIAGE


By Erma Thrask

Bennetsville, May 8- Salutations! I come to you today with a heavy heart. When I was just a child, my dear Sunday School teacher used to have us sing a sad and wistful song about 'building a house on shifting sands'. This is old tune is what cameto mind as I perused this week's "Home of the Week" at the request of Mr. Goliath. (incidently, he has asked me to consider expanding my criticism portfolio by reviewing the contemporary cinema...I am giving some thought to this). However, to the task at hand....the essay in excessive living writ by Mr. and Mrs. Larry Middleton in today's photo essay You know you are dealing with some egoism and presumption when the owners have give their house a 'name'. In this case "Little Cote' " (we LOVE the slamming together of English and French!..NOT!) As in many cases of Home of the Week, the real interest lies in the people who inhabit the homes depicted. Sometimes, I confess, when I read

these things I almost want to throw up the contents of my stomach. (which is mostly bourbon

laced egg nog..which I find is an excellent drink with breakfast!)

Here, we are told Before they were married, Julie and Larry Middleton each owned a large house. “After looking at many houses, this was the only one we could both envision living in,” Julie said. “Incorporating two households of furniture into one was quite a process. It was a marriage of things as well as of people.” Are we to believe that, honestly, THIS house was the ONLY one that Mr. and Mrs. Middleton could 'envision living in?" If true, then Erma Thrask can only say..."How sad for the both of you!"

Now we are told that the Middletons  have six children. Photographs can be misleading....but I would calculate Mrs. Middleton to be about

34 years of age and Mr. Middleton to be more in the 55 year old or OLDER range. Hmmmm?

What price was paid so this charming couple could aquire and inhabit 'the only house they

could envision living in"?

But enough musings on the personal life of the pair (at least they were willing to face the camera!) I turn to the house itself. Frankly, there is nothing remarkable to comment on. This

house has been carefully decorated and furnished. We appreciate the photograph of the bar showing the almost empty bottle of Old Forester Bourbon 

You can tour the whole home here: http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=B2&Dato=20100506&Kategori=FEATURES08&Lopenr=305060019&Ref=PH

May I simply observe that every detail has been tastefully attended to. All demonstrating true

fine and tasteful sensibilities. Yes, the Middletons have made all the right moves to show

their cultivation and quality taste.......everything except PUTTING THEIR POSSESSIONS ON
DISPLAY IN THE COURIER JOURNAL.

Good luck Mr. Middleton....We hope you will take time to sit down sometime in your short chino's, your anklet socks and 'running shoes', savor your Old Fo and read your Bible...I know

that you have one in there somewhere. And Mrs. Masterson, congratulations dear! At the

tender age of 35 you have acquired the possessions you have dreamed of. You will be quite the

grande dame at 65!

 HE CCC on ABORTION and  the REV. JAMES MELTON

By ERMA THRASK (Speical Report to Goliathandwimmens)

Salutations, I, myself, scarcely have time between studying the good Book, cleaning my home, scolding neighborhood children, reproaching the women who

attend my Sunday School class, preparing tasty and nutritious meals of boiled chicken and boiled potatos for shut in elderly men to engage in frivolities such as

'surfing the web'. However, lately, I have been struggling to find time to finish

my tasks and chores so as to get home and make a Christian study of the MILF

website phenomena that a reader kindly drew my attention to. (Thank you J.) I search out these websites so that you, kind reader, do not have to. I have yet to find one that is anything less than godless filth! (and I have studied each one very carefully!) Rest assured, in the unlikely event I find a proper MILF website, I will alert my reading audience immediately. Until then, I sternly recommend you concentrate on Bible studies.

It has come to my attention that the CCC was running a debate on the issue of Abortion, however, and I took the time to glance at this thread. I swiftly realized the correct position was

being proudly advocated by one of the posters there. I was delighted to see the Reverend James Melton being quoted and giving part of the Biblical case against abortion. I wanted to

augment this post by a very well reasoned sermon by Brother Harry Hardwick. I immediately

asked Goliath if he would post it for me. He declined my request. He told me he refused to

post on the Chatter and muttered something about a "13 day war" (I couldn't make out the

rest as he was apparently intoxicated). Feeling frustrated, I contacted Goliath's associate

"Pesty" and he agreed to post my message. Now I was quite celebratory and, I confess I

took a rather large helping of Mr. Goliath's delightful egg nog which I cherish for its medicinal

qualities. I went to my computer station and waited, with bated breath, to see the response

on the CCC. Now, through a course of events I shall not go into here, I quickly asked Pesty

to remove my words. I hope you will understand.

Meanwhile, I would ask you to review my article on HELL which is easily found on the special

webpage Goliath has made just to preserve my various articles.

I did want to take this opportunity of posting some of the VERY BEST from Rev. James Melton

and Bro. Harry Hardwick here, on Goliath's post where it can reach 45 nations of the world and

over 6,000 readers. Rev. Melton has an excellent article on "SATAN'S TEN COMMANDMENTS" for Parents. Which I present here...in part.

Thou shalt not take thy children to a Bible-believing church

That's right, the last thing I need is a generation of children who learn to believe and obey God's word! Take your sons and daughters to a big and liberal church where there are scores of fun activities to waste their time and rob them of any chance to really learnthe Bible. Don't take them to an old-fashioned and fundamental church where the King James Bible is believed, preached and taught.

Thou shalt not teach thy children to know and serve Jesus Christ

I'll never populate Hell if you allow your children to see their lost condition and their need to have their sins washed away in the blood of Jesus Christ! Let them wait until they are older so they can decide for themselves what to believe. By then, I'll have them so brainwashed they'll never be saved. Tell them when to get up, when to take a bath, what to eat, when to be home and when to go to bed, but don't tell them what to believe about God, the Bible, and Jesus Christ.

Thou shalt not spank thy children

I want to produce a whole generation of self-serving rebels who are not disciplined and who do not respect any moral authority-- including God. When this happens, I will rule the world and damn billions to Hell forever! I need YOUR help! DON'T spank that child!

Thou shalt enroll thy children in a day care center

Mom, don't even think of staying home to train up your children! Sure, the Bible commands women to be "keepers at home," but who believes the Bible these days? Your family can't make it on a single income. Get yourself a job and let my specially trained day care agents start working on your children. You make the babies and let me handle the rest.

Thou shalt enroll thy children in the public school system

Don't even think of home schooling or a private school. You just trust me to educate your children the way I think best. The public school system is packed full of my agents. We've already thrown the Bible, the Ten Commandments and prayer out of the schools. Now we're having the time of our life! We'll teach your kids that they have evolved from animals so they'll feel no obligation to honor and obey their true Creator. Then we'll let them dress any way they choose while teaching them all about sex. We'll even have a few dances each year so they can rub their bodies together while listening and dancing to the most ungodly music the world has ever known. With a little luck, your kids will have their own kids before finishing high school, which just means more day care prospects for me! Don't you just love my system?!!!!

Thou shalt allow thy children to walk, talk, dress and act like all other children

You wouldn't want you child to feel strange or different from other kids, would you? Of course you wouldn't! You want your child to grow up to fit into the world, to feel accepted and normal in society. That's exactly what I want! I want everyone to just fit in with society - to conform to the trends and fashions of the day. I have the majority of the earth's population marching right into Hell without even knowing it. Don't ask questions about your children's conduct, their styles, and their trends. Just accept it as "the latest thing" and let me direct their footsteps. I know just where they need to be and I know just how to get them there!

Thou shalt teach thy children to worship sports

Ah, yes! Let's not forget that one! Let's keep that child's mind occupied all the time lest they start thinking and asking questions about God, the Bible and Jesus Christ! I want them playing baseball, softball, basketball, football, ballet, swimming, track, gymnastics, and everything else you can find. In addition to this, buy them shoes and clothing endorsed by famous sports figures and take them to every sporting event possible. With a little effort, you can waste at least ten or fifteen hours every week! Hopefully, by the time they're grown they'll be reading the sports page and watching the sports channel every day while neverreading the Bible.

Thou shalt provide thy children with unrestricted entertainment

Don't deprive your kids of all the things that other kids enjoy, such as Internet access, their choice magazines, video games, television and movies. These are perfect mediums by which I am reaching millions of young people every day. They're listening to my music, looking at my pictures, and applying my self destructive principles in their lives. It's amazing how willing parents are to turn their kids over to me, but they're certainly doing it. So pleasedon't ask questions or investigate the choice entertainment of your sons and daughters.

Thou shalt permit thy sons and daughters to start dating by the age of sixteen

Preferably before then, like maybe thirteen or fourteen, but certainly no later than sixteen! Other teenagers date, so why shouldn't your teens date? Other teenagers experiment with sex, drugs and alcohol, so why shouldn't your teens do likewise? You think, "Oh, my teen wouldn't do anything like that!" Yeah, right! I'm so glad you foolish parents have such short memories! I'm so glad you've forgotten yourteenage years! One of my greatest assets in ruining your child is your belief that your child is different and wouldn't do any wrong. You make my job so easy - and fun!

Thou shalt not receive counsel from any Christian

When you encounter a Christian who has exceptionally well behaved children, you will be tempted to seek advice from them on raising your own children. DON'T! These people are religious nuts. They believing in training up children GOD'S WAY, which is the old-fashioned way. This is the twenty-first century, a new age with a new way of life. Away with God and the Bible! Away with Jesus and fundamental churches! Live like you want to live! After all, you only live once, and then you'll be in Hell forever - along with your kids! Just fear me and keep MY commandments, and we'll all be together one day - sooner than you may think!

Your's Truly . . . . . Lucifer+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Rev. Melton, also advises us on how EVEN THE BIBLE can lead one astray! (If it's not

the PROPER ORIGINAL KING JAMES BIBLE from which one studies. In this lovely and

powerful article he explains how the so called "NEW" King James Bible is nothing more than

an unholy TOOL OF LUCIFER!!!

1. The text of the NKJV is copyrighted by Thomas Nelson Publishers, while there is no copyright today on the text of the KJV. If your KJV has maps or notes, then it may have a copyright, but the text itself does not.
2. There's nothing "new" about the NKJV logo. It is a "666" symbol of the pagan trinity which was used in the ancient Egyptian mysteries. It was also used by satanist Aleister Crowley around the turn of this century. The symbol can be seen on the New King James Bible, on certain rock albums (like Led Zepplin's), or you can see it on the cover of such New Age books as The Aquarian Conspiracy. (See Riplinger's tract on the NKJV.)
3. It is estimated that the NKJV makes over 100,000 translation changes, which comes to over eighty changes per page and about three changes per verse! A great number of these changes bring the NKJV in line with the readings of such Alexandrian perversions as the NIV and the RSV. Where changes are not made in the text, subtle footnotes often give credence to the Westcott and Hort Greek Text.
4. While passing off as being true to the Textus Receptus, the NKJV IGNORES the Receptus over 1,200 times.
5. In the NKJV, there are 22 omissions of "hell", 23 omissions of "blood", 44 omissions of "repent", 50 omissions of "heaven", 51 omissions of "God", and 66 omissions of "Lord". The terms "devils", "damnation", "JEHOVAH", and "new testament" are completely omitted.
6. The NKJV demotes the Lord Jesus Christ. In John 1:3, the KJV says that all things were made "by" Jesus Christ, but in the NKJV, all things were just made "through" Him. The word "Servant" replaces "Son" in Acts 3:13 and 3:26. "Servant" replaces "child" in Acts 4:27 and 4:30. The word "Jesus" is omitted from Mark 2:15, Hebrews 4:8, and Acts 7:45.
7. The NKJV confuses people about salvation. In Hebrews 10:14 it replaces "are sanctified" with "are being sanctified", and it replaces "are saved" with "are being saved" in I Corinthians 1:18 and II Corinthians 2:15. The words "may believe" have been replaced with "may continue to believe" in I John 5:13. The old straight and "narrow" way of Matthew 7:14 has become the "difficult" way in the NKJV.
8. In II Corinthians 10:5 the KJV reads "casting down imaginations", but the NKJV reads "casting down arguments". The word "thought", which occurs later in the verse, matches "imaginations", not "arguments". This change weakens the verse.
9. The KJV tells us to reject a "heretick" after the second admonition in Titus 3:10. The NKJV tells us to reject a "divisive man". How nice! Now the Alexandrians and Ecumenicals have justification for rejecting anyone they wish to label as "divisive men".
10. According to the NKJV, no one would stoop so low as to "corrupt" God's word. No, they just "peddle" it (II Cor. 2:17). The reading matches the Alexandrian versions.
11. Since the NKJV has "changed the truth of God into a lie", it has also changed Romans 1:25 to read "exchanged the truth of God for the lie". This reading matches the readings of the new perversions, so how say ye it's a King James Bible?
12. The NKJV gives us no command to "study" God's word in II Timothy 2:15.
13. The word "science" is replaced with "knowledge" in I Timothy 6:20, although "science" has occurred in every edition of the KJV since 1611! How say ye it's a King James Bible?
14. The Jews "require" a sign, according to I Corinthians 1:22 (and according to Jesus Christ - John 4:48), but the NKJV says they only "request" a sign. They didn't "request" one when signs first appeared in Exodus 4, and there are numerous places throughout the Bible where God gives Israel signs when they haven't requested anything (Exo. 4, Exo. 31:13, Num. 26:10, I Sam. 2:34, Isa. 7:10-14, Luke 2:12, etc). They "require" a sign, because signs are a part of their national heritage.
15. The King James reading in II Corinthians 5:17 says that if any man is in Christ he is a new "creature", which matches the words of Christ in Mark 16:15. The cross reference is destroyed in the NKJV, which uses the word "creation."
16. As a final note, we'd like to point out how the NKJV is very inconsistent in it's attempt to update the language of the KJV. The preface to the NKJV states that previous "revisions" of the KJV have "sought to keep abreast of changes in English speech", and also that they too are taking a "further step toward this objective". However, when taking a closer look at the language of the NKJV, we find that oftentimes they are stepping BACKWARDS! (From "The NKJV : A DEADLY TRANSLATION" By James Melton. )

Home of the Week, "In a Lonely Place" by Erma Thrask

Salutations! Fortified with a few cups of Mr. Goliath's eggnog, I valiantly return to

my task of offering critique of the communistic rag Courier-Journal's feature "Home of the Week". I do so in the teeth of personal attacks from tattoo'd females of indeterminate age who also allegedly go bra-less and do their best to inveigle men

into temptations of the flesh.

Our subject this week is "Derby Dazzler" the so called home of one "Laurence Zeilke" Attorney at Law.

Let us begin with what distinguishes this article from all previous articles of its kind....namely, there is NO PHOTOGRAPH of MR. ZIELKE!!! As a suspicious minded 'old goat' (as some have called me! Imagine!) I wonder why Mr. Zielke opted not to be included in the feature. Perhaps it

was some last vestige of shame pricked his conscience. "What to be ashamed of?" you may well

ask. By way of explanation I offer this, from the article.

HOMEOWNER: Laurence Zielke. Laurence is an attorney with Zielke Law Firm, LLC.

HOME: A 7,000-square-foot home with 4 bedrooms and 5½ bathrooms in eastern Jefferson County.

DISTINCTIVE ELEMENTS: Outdoor living area complete with swimming pool, tennis court and gazebo; original artwork; extensive collection of inkwells; custom marble mantel with gold leaf detail; and spacious areas ideal for entertaining.

Can you imagine? 7000 square feet of living space for ONE PERSON! This is the definition of

vulgar excess! Imagine Mr. Zielke, if you will, wandering about his abode in the middle of the

night. What errant thoughts must pass through his mind as he wanders the vast open empty spaces! But, if the sheer obscene excess of it is not enough, we are offered further insulting imagery and words. (Mr. Zielke needs these chairs)  (Tasteless Excess) 

(He probably sits here and contemplates Who will win American Idol while swilling whisky and

talking to himself).

And here we have the ultimate affectation.--> Are we to imagine the savoir faire Mr. Zielke tossing his 'derby hat' on the toiletries table, a la James Bond,

swishing on some cologne before (or perhaps after) he sallies forth into the world to conquer all?

My goodness! I must say that I fear greatly for the grand Mr. Zielke who apparently feels a complelling need to own, and worse, show, so many things. ...but not his own visage.

Is it really that hard to look at yourself sir?

Home of the Week- FINALLY! by Erma Thrask

Salutations! Well... although some may have thought I had been VANQUISHED by certain impertinent comments about my personality and relationship with the late

Mr. Thrask (I shall refrain from mentioning any names) as you can see I am triumphantly still here. I always knew when I took the thankless job of reviewing the generally horrible job of offering critical review of the satanic Courier Journal's

'Home of the Week" article, I would encounter some criticisms as well. I had never

dreamed I might be accused of murder! As time passed I did come to think that I

might be exposed to the claim that I was a bitter dried up old goat. (Which I am not

thank you very much!) However, week after week it has been my sad task to look, with a critical eye, on the horrors the Courier opted to display and present as 'homes of note'. It has been a truly wretched task that I found I had to fortify myself more and more with Mr. Goliath's delightful egg nog (and prayer) to get through.

So how WONDERFUL it is to have the pleasure of reporting on a home featured finally that, frankly, has very little that is objectionable to it. No garish window treatments, No faux greco roman columns in the 'parlor' , no massive entertainment centers with huge flatscreen television mounted over fireplaces, inappropriately placed personal items (for show), No gut wrenching

family crisis on display in the 'family photo' and the like. None of that dreck! Simply a nice well put together modestly appropriate home for a family.

I looked for clues as to why THIS family was the exception to the usual horrors we have to see.

Sure enough, I found my answer in this sentence, "The couple are both active in mission work here and abroad."

A Wholesome CHRISTIAN FAMILY home! No doubt the McKechnies have, and read, the BIBLE!

Certain of you readers (especially those who brazenly display 4 tattoos on their limbs by wearing shorts and also go bra-less) take note!!!

________________________________________________________________

ET REPLIES TO COMMENTS;

1. Well well well, I see someone has certainly NOT taken my words of Christian concern to heart and instead insists on furthering their attacks on me (and my memories of the late Mr. Thrask- who did NOT run off to Peru with some trollop I'll have you know!) You say that men

enjoy looking "at my tats." Well, I'm sure they do Mrs. GG because so many men are like dogs,

if you open the food bag...they just keep on taking it in! But the proper place for decent woman

is to not add to the temptations these weak minded men must face but rather, by our sterling example, show them a better way. You seem to have missed this important lesson. As for my

consumption of egg nog with spirits, If you absolutely MUST know, I have consulted with my

physician on this subject and he has informed me that I am perfectly safe and my imbibing of Mr. Goliath's egg nog is actually quite beneficial to my health. It limbers my arterial structures and lowers my cardiac pressures. In such cases, it is clearly a medicinal and healthful habit.

As to my feminine charms, which you impugn and challenge me to name (other than exit doors),

I can only say that I was taught not to boast about my looks and refrain from vanity. You will

NEVER catch me saying "men like to look at my tats". Sincerely, Erma.

"STYLEMAKER" ("Home of the Week" deferred}

Salutations! I am SO glad to be back! Mr. Goliath has been very patient with me as I have found it impossible to generate a column on Home of the Week these past few Saturdays. We had the former parsonage on Peterson Avenue, then old house

downtown and last week it was the rustic part cabin part victorian that had real actual lives being lived inside. Well! I just couldn't bring myself to write about these even if I did see some things not to my taste.

So, you may imagine with what anticipation I awaited todays Courier Journal. I felt very confident that surely today the column would return to it usual fare of faux greco columns,

indented ceilings, horrid window treatments and, of course, the 'man cave' with a huge flat screen

television and large overstuffed seating arrangements for watching 'big screen' pornographic action.

But, to my extreme dismay, today the Courier featured the "Market Street Inn" in Jeffersonville. My publisher, Mr. Goliath, has strictly forbidden me from writing a critique. This

is heavy handed censorship of the most oppressive kind! (So much for the First Amendment!)

**********************************************************************************

As a solace, Mr. Goliath recommended I peruse a feature in the godless Courier Journal called

"STYLEMAKER" I am taking a look, at this week's stylemaker, Laura Watkins. Ms. Watkins is a stylemaker for Bullitt county Kentucky. She has quite obviously decided to flaunt

her female body for the temptations of men! She chose for her 'cover' story a black dress

with turquoise 'explosions' as decorations for her bosom! (As if men really needed prompts

to draw their eyes to that portion of the female anatomy!) The neckline is PLUNGING so that

Mrs. Thrask imagines that whenever she leans over she is in position to give the helpless men

around her QUITE A SHOW! click here for photos:http://www.herscene.com/fashion/stylemaker

She states, "...I look professional." "I like color so I try to incorporate it. I don't ever want to play the stuffy mom bit."

"It makes me feel a little sassy but tasteful." One of her go-to looks is dresses or skirts with boots.

I can only suggest to Ms. Watkins that looking like a professional, in my time, meant you looked

like a 'lady of the evening' otherwise known as a 'soiled dove'. And Erma Thrask would like to know dear, what on earth is wrong with 'the stuffy mom' look. That's the problem with our young children today...most of their mothers want to compete with them in wearing juvenile

fashions, baring their midriffs, exposing the bosom and (save us!) getting tattoos!

Lets take a look at Vannesa Krebs.  She is the 26 year old designer who works at "Gotcha covered" and designed one of the most famous window treatments to ever appear in "Home of the Week" (One commenter posted "Dear Erma- Thanks once again for another insightful review of the CJ's most recent "Home of the Week". This week, you were too kind-- you really were. You were dead on with respect to the window coverings---where where they? No doubt a warning to all about hiring a company called "Gotcha Covered". Noya don't!")

Ms. Krebs continues the trend of women today with her blouse exposing the upper slopes of her bosom with

just a touch of cleavage to whet the imagination of helpless males. To prove my case, I need only quote her

words from the article featuring her 'stylemaking'. " Her bedroom is designed in shades of merlot. “A bedroom should be who you are,” she says."

NO DEAR...emphatically NO! A decent Christian WOMAN is A HELPMEET
to her husband, a docile mother to her children and a servant of the LORD! SHE IS NOT " A BEDROOM!"

As you know, Erma Thrask is not one to offer criticisms without providing a constructive model

from which you, the reader may benefit. With this in mind I offer some depictions of

'style' that are oppropriate.

   

As an accessory? A well worn copy of the King James Bible clasped firmly in your hand.

Well, thanks all. I look forward, perhaps next week to returning to "Home of the Week"

************************

Update: A reader writes concerning my assertion and condemnation of tattoos as female ornamentation. Madame, the impulse which drove you to obtain tattoos came from Satan. No doubt you also wear shorts, sometimes go bra-less and fail to respect the word of your husband as 'head of the household'. I urge you to read your BIBLE and cancel your subscription to the Courier Journal!

****************************************************************************

UPDATE- A devoted reader has emailed me, Erma Thrask, a photograph that I overlooked

and which they note proves my point that Ms. Krebs is nothing more than a misguided trollop.

Apparently she has decided to devote herself entirely to luring men to their doom.

As the late Mister Thrask used to say, "CASE CLOSED"

*****************************************************************************

UPDATE: April 2, 2010.

A reader has written to say inquire if I, Erma Thrask, am sinless. "Let she who is without sin

cast the first stone". She then says, in her next comment, "Mrs. Thrask are a woman who lives to belittle others. What does that say about you? It says to me you are a bitter, opinionated, dried up old goat."

Well I NEVER!!!! First, let us agree that since the good book tells us that we are ALL sinners, then certainly

I, Erma Thrask, am also a sinner. However, I think we can agree that there are greater and lesser sins and

there are those who sin more than others. It is clear that I am in the latter of both categories, my sins are

smaller and fewer due to my humble devotion and constant study of the Bible. Apparently some readers

fall in the former categories committing GRAVE sins such as self ornamentation, shameless display of legs,

thighs and (ahem) bosoms. Of course we are charged to condemn these sins and yet love the sinner. (a task

that is a woeful challenge at times. I ask for strength to live up to this command!)

As for the opinion that I am a bitter, opinionated dried up old goat, all I can say is "Naaaa ..... Naaaa".

Why, the late Mr. Thrask used to kindly commend me on my docile and dare I say, generous nature. I knew the proper place of woman. I made sure Mr. Thrask's shirts were crisply ironed and that he enjoyed warm

and wholesome meals to nourish his body for his labors. (oatmeal for breakfast Every morning! Boiled potatos, quarter slab of lettuce and boiled chicken for dinner!) I made sure his hair was properly groomed and his clothes appropriate to his station in life.

Now, as for your threat to boycott the Goliath web site, I urge you to do so! Goliath is a heathen. Even the good book Condemns his race...the Philistines, in several notable passages. My personal favorite is when Sampson, having regained his strength after losing his hair to the wiles of that temptress, Delilah (who no

doubt was tattooed from head to toe!) knocks down the faux greco columns at the palace of the Philistine

King and slays thousands of heathen Philistines in one fell swoop!

I only associate with Goliath for the sake of trying to fulfill my Christian duty to redeem him from his pagan

and heathen ways. In addition, he provides me with fresh eggs and generous amounts of egg NOG which I

must say, I have developed quite a taste for the past few months. Goliath is a heathen. You would do

better to steer clear and devote yourself to reading the Bible and laundering and ironing your husbands socks.

-Sincerely, Erma Thrask.

BEAST of BOTH WORLDS...Home of the Week by ERMA THRASK

Well well well..... Erma Thrask is NOBODY's FOOL!!! I am saddened to report that BEHIND MY BACK Goliath has been secretly recruiting JULES' MOTHER to replace me as the commentator on "HOME OF THE WEEK". I began to have suspicions that Goliath was engaged in an ongoing effort to impair the "integrity"

of my column so I took a cue from SUPERMIKE and took the liberty of reading some of what he thought was PRIVATE MESSAGES and what do I discover? Goliath is PLOTTING with JULES to have JULES' MOTHER write a "Home of

the Week" Column!!! Well Well Well. And I THOUGHT Goliath was my friend!

Now, as a Christian lady, I knew it was my duty to try to help Goliath find the light. As you know, Goliath is a heathen that worships his ancient gods. He actually sacrifices poultry and small animals to them in expiation of what he considers 'sins'. (What a catalog of horrors that is!!) We are told to Hate the sin and love the sinner ! But in the teeth of such betrayal, this is a sore task on a person such as myself. I also found GOLIATH was receiving PORNOGRAPHY

in his private messages! As vile and disgusting as it is, I feel obliged to share with the world,

(similar to my hero, Kenneth Starr a la the Clinton-Lewinski affair) all the sordid details of

this pornographic correspondance. Jules sent Goliath this image...... Now, I understand this sign was

stood above one of our local highways all last summer and as Goliath earlier mentioned it to me

and I had no IDEA what "MILF" stood for at the time, I decided to educate myself further..so

as not to be unarmed in this battle with Goliath and Jules' mother! So, I 'googled' the term

"MILF" and Dear LORD!!! YOU can't believe what vile filth came up on my computer screen!

I strongly urge you NOT TO GOOGLE this term! Just thank the Lord that you have Erma Thrask to do such vile work for you. Only a good christian such as myself could be exposed to

such sordid imagery and not be in jeopardy of the flames of hell! I made a very thorough inspection of almost all of the websites devoted to MILFs. This took me some 36 hours of constant viewing (with occassional breaks for egg nog and a nap!). Page after page of images

depicting horrible acts and nudity! I assure you that as I gazed at page after page of such images

I finally reached the conclusion that this was truly sinful. I will return to my investigation of such sites shortly as I want to be fair. But, so far, I have found nothing but sin and degradation!

The image above PROVES Goliath's soul is in jeopardy. I will pray for him.

Now, to turn to the subject of this weeks column (a welcome relief from my contemplation of

Goliath's cowardly treachery!) This week we find that, apparently, the vile communist organ,

"The Courier Journal" has run out of glorified tract homes to depict and have now turned once

again to portraying a condominium as a "home". Of course, I am obliged to observe that any time a residence contains the word "condom" in its very name one should have a major clue

that what is inside is going to be turgid, mindless and insistent...and obscene.

From time to time you may have come across the phrase "loud and vulgar" and wondered what,

exactly, the writer was trying to convey. Well, please take a look at this weeks Home of the Week and you will have your answer! I present to you one of the photographs which will

give you the idea of what the Bennetson's, transplanted to our gracious region from Chicago

consider 'stylish' apparently...

Of course, I would always approve of the addition of fresh flowers to a room but, if you will, imagine the room WITHOUT flowers! I think you will have some idea of the soulessness of this home! It has been

a rare thing to see a home of the week that depicted such a mish mash of loud (dare I say 'shouting'?) colors , fabrics and patterns tossed up in such a small space! I confess I began to

feel a headache coming on just from looking at the photographs...I can scarcely imagine how discombobulating it must be to actually try and live there! Take a look at this decorating decision and tell me if you would not positively verge on a nervous breakdown just wondering

when that vase would be toppled! 

Excuse me while I refresh myself with a sip of egg nogg to help me regather my nerves! Can someone PLEASE explain to me why you put a piece of glass over a footstool? In any event,

as is usual, I find no sign of a bible in the home. I have looked carefully at the 'book nook'

and can't make out a volumn of the King James on those shelves. (If I am mistaken I would be

more than happy to take back these words!) but, gracious! I could not gather my wits to

contemplatively read some stirring chapters of Leviticus after the visual sensory assault of

merely walking through the rest of the home to arrive here...at the 'nook'.

However, I do

confess this seems to be the most attractive room in the home. I imagine this room is dominated by MR. Bennetson. Thus, a word of advise to MRS Bennetson....start over! Let your husband

make the decorating decisions!! And of course...please buy a BIBLE...and READ IT!!

P.S. Thank you Jules and Jules' mother for so graciously and tactfully rebuffing Goliath's

treacherous efforts to recruit you to replace me as the columnist for this feature.

SHAKEN NOT STIRRED----HOME OF THE WEEK by ERMA THRASK

A FAMILY IN CRISIS

Salutations Goliathandwimmens readers!!! What a memorable week this has been what with the snow making 'stay at homes' of all of us. Then the Mayor of Jeffersonville announced what seems to be a foregone conclusion plan for a canal in Jeffersonville which will incorporate features suggested by Mr. Goliath including Coffee shops where people can enjoy themselves. I suppose I am a bit older than the usual customer to which such shops are ordinarily marketed. However, Erma Thrask likes to keep an open mind and try new experiences. Mr Goliath assures me that we will have a wonderful time and has promised to accompany me to one of these. He tells such wonderful stories about his past experiences in Amsterdam Coffee shops such as 'The Bulldog' and 'Cafe Easy

Times' that I can hardly wait.

I turn now to this week's "Home of the Week" as presented by that horrifying communist rag of a so called 'newspaper' "the Courier Journal' "Fern Creek Home offers New Beginning for Blended Family". I must say, this family is far, very far from "blended". It appears more

shaken than stirred. And, further, the story is somewhat frightening. Before now I have considered it wise to refrain from commenting extensively on the PEOPLE who resided in the

homes it has fallen to me to review. But, this week I must make an exception. This week we are

told a 'happy' story of Ted and Kathy Dillman who have married and made the featured house their home.....and the home of their three sons. (One son is hers and two sons are his). As we

browse through the photographs of the home, we see the total and complete domination of Kathy's tastes and decorating on display. But, the photograph that tells a deeply troubling story

is the one of the 'blended' family. Take a look.Mrs. Dillman is all smiles as is her son, (the nice looking young man wearing a tie). Mr. Dillman has a big happy smile on his face. He is

apparently QUITE pleased with his new, second, bride. And one look at her physical attributes and one can easily guess why. (Mr. Goliath says she is called a "MILF" but he is rather vague about what that actually means.) But in any case, I can see that she is blonde, very pretty and

VERY buxomy-shapely.

But, now I take a closer look at Mr. Dillman's two sons. (the ones that could not bring themselves

to put on a tie as Mrs. Dillman ...the latest Mrs Dillman...no doubt asked them to wear for the photograph.) The first son is bearing only the faintest trace of a forced smile....and number two

son (in the back) has no smile at all! Of course, I , Erma Thrask could be all wrong, but judging from this photograph, and the others accompanying the story I venture to guess that Mr. Dillmans boys are none to happy with their 'new' 'Mom'.

When we look at the rest of the house, I have to confess, in at least one respect, I completely agree with them. I can scarcely recall when a featured home of a family so completely was dominated so obviously by the female of the household! I offer you a quote from the story

"WHERE THE GIRLS ARE

Festive and fun describes the half bathroom, or, as Kathy refers to it, “the girls' room.” Beige walls hold various decorative wall plaques that define this very feminine room with words such as nail polish, blush and lipstick. A pedestal sink provides a place to freshen up, while an area rug sports a high-heeled shoe. Pictures of Kathy and her friends are found on black shelves mounted on the wall."

Is it just me, or did you also notice that there are NO OTHER "GIRLS" in this home? I wonder if

Mr. Dillman's sons enjoy the 'decorative plaques' that 'define this very feminine room with words

such as nail polish and blush and lipstick"?

As I set this paper aside, I can't help but ponder the thoughts of the FIRST Mrs. Dillman as she

reads this story. I, Erma Thrask, am not a betting person (it is a sin) but, if I were, I would

be willing to wager a rather large sum that the first Mrs. Dillman was not given such full sway and scope in exercising her tastes and, dare I say whims, in decorating the home. For example,

I doubt that the first Mrs. Dillman scattered busts of Beethoven around the home. There are

TWO in this home, yet I see no piano! What a mystery that is! Is someone a secret Beethoven

fan? Then why no piano or music center? Oh my. I fear that someone has simply purchased these busts of Beethoven because they imagined they 'added a touch of class' to the decor. Oh

dear...and given the rest of the decor that would have to be Mrs. Dillman (the second).

In conclusion, I recommend some intensive family therapy for this not so blended family. And,

as a concession, give those young sons of Mr. Dillman their own game room. Finally, yet again

I plead....PLEASE BUY A BIBLE AND READ IT.... Especially the part that says "Thou shalt not

commit adultery!"

Home of the week : SPECIAL EDITION by Erma Thrask

REFLECTIONS OF ANCIENT LIVING: The GOLIATH COMPOUND

Greetings everyone! And Salutations! Goliath has asked me, once again, on this

snowbound day to take pen in hand and offer my thoughts on modern decor and living. But, this day we depart from our usual comments and turn the spotlight on the home of our dear friend Goliath. Many have asked for a view of his home and for those of you not graced with an invitation to visit the Goliath compound where Mr. Goliath lives in sin with his three concubines and a larger flock of chickens we offer this view into the private world of our beloved Biblical figure.

Goliath is a "Lost and abandoned private asset Engineer" and retired military. When he and is

family decided to relocate to the Jeffersonville Indiana area, they carefully selected a compound and home that would suit their unique needs. Mr. Goliath is originally from Philistine

(modern day) Palestine but has lived in many parts of the world in his career. The Goliath home reflects this cultured and well traveled sensibility. 

Some renovations have been made to bring this marvelous home up to date! It has electricity and indoor plumbing! (Something Mr. Goliath confesses he has trouble getting used to)

The Goliath bedroom is shown next. It features a simple color scheme of pale white walls with

a mirror and sheer curtains as an understated calm and romantic effect. Goliath and Sheba El al (concubine number 1) like to keep plenty of water near the bed. Since Goliath is originally a man of the desert, he has a certain psychological satisfaction from ready access to water. (Which is partly why he lives on the Ohio river and favors the recently proposed Jeff Canal Project) As

a music lover, this room is furnished with a wifi ipod which Mr. Goliath says he enjoys listening to

Annie Lennox and the Dixie Chicks on.Turning now to the more public parts of the home, We find the Dining room which continues the beige curtain window treatments in to the main living area of the home. Goliath prefers early colonial motifs for his

furniture accents as is reflected in the choice of ladderback chairs. This is a classic Southern midwest look that makes the home particularly charming. Please note the unconventional placement of an easy chair in the dining room which Mr. Goliath explains, "Sometimes during feasting Me like to take a little break and rest my weary bones and lets the grub settle well into my stomachers. I likes to sip jagermeister in that there too of an evening."

In the parlor sitting room, the pale drapes theme is continued. The room is furnished with a settee that Goliath found in a garbage dumpster behind the Harbors Condominiums on one of his many adventurous expeditions. The walls retain the original paper which Goliath feels adds to the 'authenticity' of the decor. Goliath cut a barrel drum in half and turned it upside down and threw a sheet over it to make a coffee table. A unique solution to a difficult decorating and furnishing problem! There are a lot of chicken feathers scattered about

the room. This flock has full run of the Goliath home and certainly adds a certain unique charm to any visit to the Goliath Compound.

Not to be outdated, Goliaths has a "media room" where he can watch movies like "The Robe", "Ben Hur", "Spartacus" and the "Ten Commandments" in wide screen splendor. His computer station is where he accesses the internet and updates his blog, monitors HoosierTaxpayer's viscious personal attacks and rip offs of Goliath's ideas. He also looks at the great sales he makes from his Online market where he sells goods and items on the internet all over the World. This is

Goliath's private world and he laughs and says "Those wimmens ...they hardly evers come in here ! That Why Me so free to drink Jagermeisters here in!" Once again the eggshell white wall theme is continued but the window treatments and wall decor are a little different reflecting Goliaths personal, masculine tastes and displaying unique treasures Goliath has collected over

the centuries.

The bathroom in the home is an allusion to the families' mediterranean origins with its 'Attic Blue' walls and Greek

tiled shower. These colors were specially picked by Goliath and are his first pride in this home.

"That there bathroom could have been quite ordinary...but I do feels as if Me has made it something rather unique in there".

As my readers know, I , Erma Thrask, have been searching in vain for a Bible in the home of

"Home of the Week" subjects. Goliath's home is no exception. He is aware of the book and pleased that he is featured in a story in the good book. However, as a practicing heathen, he

feels it would be hypocritical of him to keep a copy of the Bible in his home. I, Erma Thrask,

have been trying to bring Goliath to see the error of his pagan heathen ways. I will keep trying.
